Yes the similarities between the two make one wonder if they were “sponsored”.

A friend posted on Facebook that one of the priests killed is the father of the guy making the film "Sirius". Perhaps "tin foil hat" material, but she believes it was intended to intimidate the guy into stopping his efforts. The belief is that the government doesn't want the movie released.

It strikes me as very strange that both shooters were tied to the U.S. Army Psychological Operations unit. Gurdwara was a psychological operations specialist there 6 years previous, while James Holmes was a neuroscience research assistant at both the National Institute of Health UC-Colorado Anschutz center (as a graduate intern) and the Salk Institute,(as an undergraduate intern) partnered with the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA) while conducting research on the Peak Soldier Performance System. Holmes father, Dr. Robert Holmes, also worked for the neural network company HNC Software and DARPA and likely got his son those gigs.

Another strange detail is that in the Aurora, Colorado shooting several members of psy-ops were killed - Navy Petty Officer John Larimer, Air Force Staff Sargent Jesse Childress and Johnathon Blunk,a navy veteran. There are two divisions of psy-ops in Aurora.
